Origins
The Academy's origins lie in a meeting of thirteen film professionals organised by the producer Alfredo Matas at Madrid's O'Pazo Restaurant on November 12, 1985, to discuss the situation of the Spanish film industry. Present at the meeting were:
- Luis García Berlanga, Director
- Carlos Saura, Director
- Marisol Carnicero, Production Director
- Tedy Villalba, Production Director
- José Sacristán, Actor
- Charo López, Actress
- Pablo González del Amo, Editor
- José Luis Matesanz, Editor
- Manuel Matji, Screenwriter
- José Nieto, Musician
- Carlos Suárez, Cinematographer
- Ramiro Gómez, Set Designer
From this meeting came the idea to set up an organisation that would promote Spanish cinema and support its professionals. The Academy was duly founded on 8 November 1986.
